Thanks, I will start googling Dell-specific settings. Or, maybe not. I will simply disconnect the switch. I don't want to fiddle with it each time I upgrade my distro (every six months on average). That's what I usually do with the pc speaker on desktop systems anyway, as each distro wants me to blacklist the module in it's own unique way :) -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
